It is a really nice model marred by atrocious running gear (even for a fast build). The track is wrapped right around the drive sprocket and really doesn't look anything like the correct track tension for a Panther. I swapped mine with running gear from some Hat Jagdpanthers, which was quite a bit of work due to the way the Italeri hull has all those locator pins, but they now look quite acceptable. As an alternative I could have scratched some Schurzen to hide them. The other one that is quite a disappointment is the Italeri Jumbo. I think the hull is just a regular M4A3 hull with no extra armour or thickness. Certainly doesn't look very "jumbo". At the other end of the scale I love the jeeps and halftracks.<br /><br />Cheers, DaveDaveMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05707036473168150957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162584379598890821.post-2026494009514602602012-10-07T13:07:42.906+11:002012-10-07T13:07:42.906+11:00G'day Dave.

My son's three Shermans are already on bases so it kind of fits in.<br />Only other experience with the fastbuild kits from Italeri was the Sherman M4A3s which seemed ok. Which ones did you feel were particularly dodgy?Jacksarge Paintinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859137774361915594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162584379598890821.post-47640952778372489912012-10-07T13:04:33.874+11:002012-10-07T13:04:33.874+11:00Thanks FF.Thanks FF.Jacksarge Paintinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859137774361915594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162584379598890821.post-64626953649443624892012-10-07T13:03:41.569+11:002012-10-07T13:03:41.569+11:00Thanks FMB, I'm sure he will- especially if it...Thanks FMB, I'm sure he will- especially if it blows up some German tanks :)Jacksarge Paintinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859137774361915594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162584379598890821.post-76534284545705129482012-10-07T01:52:50.604+10:002012-10-07T01:52:50.604+10:00Nice M10 John, but don't the molded-on bases a...Nice M10 John, but don't the molded-on bases annoy you (for some reason I just can't come at them) ?
